Join us for an important conversation examining the ongoing fight for community control and police accountability. Beginning with the police killing of Marilyn Banks, this panel will trace the organizing strategies led by the Coalition Against Police Crimes & Repression (CACPR) to advance local control and establish an independent civilian oversight board.
The Board of Police Commissioners is demanding $250-350 million of OUR tax dollars to fund police. St. Louisans are coming together to stop this attack and demand that St. Louis City’s budget go towards services and resources that actually help our communities–things like mental health service expansion, Right to Counsel, and funding for a just recovery in North City.
Friday, Feb 27 from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm CST Celebrate the grand opening of the Northside Movement Center, the new shared home for Action St. Louis & ArchCity Defenders!
